Carson City Council approves 1.7 billion dollar stadium for Chargers-Raiders
The Carson City Council has unanimously approved a privately financed stadium for the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.
The decision comes barely two months after the public announcement of the proposed $1.7-billion project, reported the Los Angeles Times on Thursday. The vote continued the proposal’s fast progress in the competition with a rival concept in Inglewood.
It took just eight days to collect more than 15,000 signatures in support of the ballot initiative.
“There are two things we need in California: rain and football,” said Carson Mayor Albert Robles. “And football is coming to Carson.”
